UCLA vs USC: A Hate-Week Chronicle
I dedicated this, my first ever UCLA vs USC game week as a Twitter user, to a sustained onslaught of insults and jokes at USC’s expense. In case you missed it (or if you just want to revel in the rivalry hate one more time for good measure), I’m recapping it here. #GoBruins #BeatSC

Sunday
We started off pretty tame, with some good old, standby lightbulb jokes:
Q: How many Trojans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: None. Daddy will do it for them. #GoBruins #BeatSC
And:
Q: How many successful, USC-alumni NFL QBs does it take to change a light bulb?

A: [CATEGORY ERROR]#GoBruins #BeatSC
Then I decided to take advantage of Twitter’s new poll feature for some fun polls.
How will class act & paragon of integrity USC AD Pat Haden fire their next football coach?

And:
Who's your favorite USC Super Bowl-winning QB? #GoBruins #BeatSC

I capped off my Sunday with a final dig at USC’s starting quarterback:
Went to a Halloween party last month dressed as 'Cody Kessler in a big game.'

As in, I didn't show up. #GoBruins #BeatSC
I was just getting warmed up!
Next: Monday
